As documented on Keeping Up With the Kardashians, Khloe Kardashian has been struggling with relationship problems with Lamar Odom for quite some time before deciding to end their marriage on the mid-season finale of the reality show. Now, the TV starlet is finally opening up about why she chose to have her marital issues broadcasted on TV.

“I’m going through it, but I’m not through it,” she explained of the couple’s divorce.

“It’s really hard to watch yourself on TV. It’s definitely different in that the world has to watch, too,” Kardashian continued. “It’s definitely not the easiest thing to do, but it’s what my life is.”

According to Kardashian, surrounding herself with good friends and family really helped keep her head on her head during these past years.

“I have the same friends that I’ve had for 15 years. I think also, just by having each other, as soon as one of us gets a big head, we shoot the other one down. That’s the beauty about having brothers and sisters,” she said. “I just don’t believe the hype. I just don’t take myself too seriously. I don’t know if that’s a good thing or a bad thing.”

“It’s easy to get lost in this,” she added. “It’s easy to get lost in all the hype and to have all these ‘yes men’ around you. It’s a really easy thing. But because we’re all doing it together, it’s a really rare scenario. Most families aren’t all in the public eye as we are. It works as a blessing. It works in our favor.”
